How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Blatchington

You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garage conversions and pieces of broken roof.

In West Blatchington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for West Blatchington

Are garage roofs in West Blatchington normally asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Is asbestos common in West Blatchington homes?

If your home in West Blatchington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can the roof be overclad?

It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

How long will the job take?

Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.

When can you start?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Can you quote from photos?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

After we have finished in West Blatchington

The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.

Some practical advice:

Let us know where we can park
Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Let neighbours know beforehand

What to avoid

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Prices and what affects them

What changes the cost:

What the material is and its state
Location, parking and any London charges
The size of the job
Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Sending photos

Photos often save us a visit:

Street parking nearby
The access route
Visible markings
An idea of size

You will get a written quote. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

How we work

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. We plan garage roof jobs in West Blatchington for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it

We quote and book a date around your roofer
We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Getting ready

Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
Do not disturb the material before we get there
Mention any parking restrictions

How to get a quote

Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.

Tell us what you need

Asbestos cement sheets: what you need to know

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in West Blatchington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Which option is right?

Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
